Method

Preparation of Base

  1. 1

    Roasting Tomatoes

    Preheat your oven to 400°F (200°C). Cut the tomatoes in half and place them cut-side up on a baking sheet. Roast for 20-25 minutes, until they are tender and slightly charred.

  2. 2

    Chopping Vegetables

    While the tomatoes are roasting, chop the onion, garlic, and jalapeño pepper. Remove the seeds from the jalapeño for less heat if desired.

  3. 3

    Blending the Base

    In a blender, combine the roasted tomatoes, fresh cilantro, chopped onion, garlic, and lime juice. Blend until smooth.

Combining Creamy Ingredients

    Mixing the Creamy Base

    In a separate bowl, combine sour cream, mayonnaise, chopped jalapeño, salt, black pepper, and cumin. Mix well until fully combined.

  2. 5

    Combining Mixtures

    Slowly add the blended tomato mixture into the creamy mixture, stirring continuously until the dressing is smooth and well incorporated.

Final Touches

    Chill and Serve

    Transfer the dressing to a serving bowl and refrigerate for at least 30 minutes before serving to allow flavors to meld.
